    A shaft carries a steady torque of 30 000 in-lb at a shearing stress of 8 000 psi.

    What is the diameter of


    the shaft?

    2. Compute the diameter of a solid shaft that rotates 100 rpm and transmits 1.2 Hp. The design stress
    for shear is to be 6 000 psi and theshaft is subjected to torsion only

    3. A solid steel torsion shaft needed with a capacity of 2.5 kW when rotating at 1200 rpm. Find the
    minimum diameter if the allowable shearstress is 40 MPa. 4. A 2-inch line shaft transmits 20 Hp and
    rotates at 200 rpm. Two pulleys spaced 30 inches apart cause a torsional deflection. If the shear
    modulus of elasticity is 12 000 000 psi, find the angle of twist in degrees.

    5. Find the diameter of a shaft for which torsional deflection will not exceed one degree in a length of 20
    diameters. The shaft is to transmit 40 Hp at 200 rpm. Assume that the shear modulus of elasticity is
    12000000 psi. [Ans. 2.31 inches]

    6. The torsional deformation of a steel shaft is to be 1 o in a length of 600 mm when the shearing stress is
    equal to 69 MPa. Find the diameter of the shaft. Consider a modulus of elasticity of 79 300 MPa.

    7. A 1-inch sold shaft is to be replaced with a hollow shaft of equal torsional strength having an outside
    diameter of 2 inches. Find the inside diameter and the percentage of weight saved.

    8. A solid transmission shaft is 88.9 mm in diameter. It is desired to replace it with a hollow shaft of the
    same material and same torsional strength but its weight should only be half as much as the solid shaft.
    Find the outside diameter and inside diameter of the hollow shaft.

    9. A shaft transmits 10 Hp at 500 rpm. Assume that the design stresses are 6000 psi (shear) and 8000 psi
    (tension) and the shaft is subject toa bending moment of 3000 in-lb. Compute the diameter of the shaft.
    [Ans. Based on shear, D = 1.40 inches; Based on flexure or bending,

    10. A centrifugal pump is directly coupled to a motor. The pump rating is 3600 lpm against a total head
    of 8 m of water. Pump efficiency is 65 % at shaft speed of 550 rpm. Calculate the torsional stress induced
    on the 40-mm diameter motor shaft.

    11. A line shaft is to transmit 200 Hp at 900 rpm. a) Find the diameter of the shaft. b) If the line shaft is
    connected to a 2” counter shaft with speed of 1600 rpm, find the Hp transmitted.

    12. A steel shaft is subjected to a constant torque of 2260 kN-m. The ultimate strength and yield
    strength of the shafting material are 668 MPa and 400 MPa, respectively. Assume a factor of safety of 2
    based on yield and endurance strength in shear. Determine the diameter of the shaft.

    13. A 2-inch diameter solid shaft has a maximum bending moment of 6000 in-lb and an applied torque
    of 3000 in-lb. Compute the equivalent bending moment.

    14. A 48 inches diameter saw blade is mounted on a pulley driven steel shaft, requiring a blade
    peripheral linear speed of 150 fps. Motor drive is 25 Hp and 1200 rpm, with 6 inches diameter pulley.
    Determine a) the shaft rpm to attain blade peripheral speed required; b) the shaft diameter; c) the shaft
    pulley diameter.

    15. A hollow shaft has an inner diameter of 0.035 m and an outer diameter of 0.06 m. Compute for the
    torque if the shear stress is not to exceed 120 Gpa, in kN-m.
